King of the Ring was a pay-per-view (PPV) event held annually in June by the World Wrestling Federation (WWE) since 1993.

Considered as one of the WWF's "Big Five" PPVs, along with the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, the company's five biggest shows of the year,[5] the 2000 event was the eighth King of the Ring PPV and 14th tournament overall.

[9] The pay-per-view event featured the annual King of the Ring single elimination bracket tournament.

The qualification matches for the tournament began on the May 29, 2000, episode of Raw is War, with Rikishi and Bull Buchanan defeating Shane McMahon and Steve Blackman respectively.

[7][11] On the June 4 episode of Sunday Night Heat, Chyna and Val Venis defeated The Godfather and Al Snow in respective matches to qualify for the tournament.

[7][12] On the June 5 episode of Raw is War, WWF Intercontinental Champion Chris Benoit and Hardcore Holly qualified by defeating Road Dogg and Faarooq respectively.

[7][16] The qualification matches for the tournament ended on the June 15 episode of SmackDown!, as Edge defeated one half of the WWF Tag Team Champions Grand Master Sexay and the other half of the WWF Tag Team Champions Scotty 2 Hotty defeated D-Lo Brown.

[16] On the June 15 episode of SmackDown, a stipulation was added into the match that if Triple H's team won, Triple H would defend the title against the winner of the King of the Ring tournament at Fully Loaded, but if any person from The Rock's team got the pinfall, that person would receive a title shot instead.

[17] On the June 19 episode of Raw is War, the stipulation was tweaked so that if any member of Rock's team got the pinfall at King of the Ring, that person would become the new WWF Champion.

On the May 29 episode of Raw is War, Too Cool defeated Edge and Christian to win the WWF Tag Team Championship.

After returning backstage, Patterson hit Brisco in the head with a champagne bottle, and pinned him to win the Hardcore Championship.

[19] On the June 22 episode of SmackDown!, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon announced that Patterson would defend the title against Brisco in a Hardcore Evening Gown match at King of the Ring.

[22] On the June 19 episode of Raw is War, the Dudleyz cost X-Pac a King of the Ring tournament match against WWF Intercontinental Champion Chris Benoit.

The WWF Women's Champion Stephanie McMahon then interfered in the match and distracted the referee.

T & A was the first team to get eliminated when Matt Hardy pinned Test following Jeff's execution of the Swanton Bomb.

The match went back and forth until Christian eliminated the Hardy Boyz by pinning Matt after hitting him with an Impaler.

[23] After the tag team title match ended, the semi-final round of the King of the Ring tournament took place with Rikishi taking on Val Venis.

Venis low blowed Rikishi and attacked his injured arm and shoulder with a chair before leaving.

The Dudley Boyz began chasing Tori until DX took advantage by attacking the Dudleyz with steel chairs.

Angle attacked Rikishi and hit him with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex from the top rope to win the 2000 King of the Ring tournament.

The stipulation was that if a member of The Rock's team got the pinfall at the end of the match, regardless of who it was, that man would be the WWF Champion.

If Triple H's team won, then the winner of the King of The Ring tournament (Kurt Angle) would receive a title shot at Fully Loaded in July.

[23] The night after King of the Ring, on Raw Is War, WWF Spokesman, and former commissioner, Shawn Michaels, introduced Mick Foley as the new commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation, while Vince McMahon took a leave to become a "genetic jackhammer", disbanding the McMahon-Helmsley Faction.

Triple H demanded to Foley for another shot at the WWF Championship, arguing that he was never, technically, pinned during the match at King of the Ring.

By winning the King of the Ring tournament, Kurt Angle's main event push started.

[25][26] At King of the Ring, Val Venis injured the WWF Intercontinental Champion Rikishi, starting a rivalry between the two.

[27] At Fully Loaded, Venis defeated Rikishi in a steel cage match to retain the title.

[28] After King of the Ring, Team Xtreme (The Hardy Boyz and Lita) continued to feud with T & A and Trish Stratus.
